Dawn In The Park was a little wayward in his jumping at Leopardstown but still held every chance when coming to grief at the second last. It’s possible she wasn’t suited by the track that day but won here over hurdles last summer and should go close to gaining compensation. Another mare, Fintara, made a promising start over fences at Thurles and no sports cheekpieces. Veneziano Springs has plenty of experience and has been placed three times but Mister Butler has failed to complete in either start over the larger obstacles so far. DYLROW only won once over hurdles but is rated 105 and looks the type to make a chaser. If he is ready after a short break, Andrew Lynch’s mount is an interesting runner.
